-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We have already imported all of the names that we can from GNS, those are the ones that should already be named and will have an 'NGA' in the source tag rather than 'US Army Topo Map'. For the ones on the topo map for task 483, don't worry about the position at all, just copy the name into the nodes either as name or as alt_name if there is already a name there just spelled differently. Once all the names are entered in, then we will go through and try to place them in the correct location. The topo map was not super accurate but it it close enough to find which name goes with what town once you correct for the local offset (which changes from place to place). But like I said, for now just enter the names.
